ONE of the reasons why so many meritori

cities, and he does not hesitate to adopt any mode
of Imparting instruction that has a tendency to
advance his pupils.
THAT TUNNEL—The Nesquehoning Tun

ceived at this paint from different counties, it is
appat eat that not snore than thirty dc'egates out

been instructed. Those who have been Instructed
are divided among at least three candidates. The
Convention will consist of 133 members and will
meet In April or May. None of, the candidates
for Gubernatorial honors can, therefore, claim to
have a certainty or a majority of delegates up to
this time."
HUNAWAY:—IN iilium Geistweit drove Reim
er's horse and buggy down Sloth street front near
Linden, last Friday. A bone-man was driving
horse and wagon In the opposite direction. The
two vehicles approached. There was not suffi
cient room for Geistweit to pass. The bone-man
was asked "to turn out," but he failed to do so,
consequently Reimer's team collided. The shock
sent the body of the buggy off the running gears
and, Geistweit, holding fast to the reins, was
dragged after the horseand considerably scratched
and bruised. Near the corner of Hamilton the
running gears struck a porter wagon, when the
horse was released and ran around the corner and
was caught near the News Agency.

Tnosa, Rouons.—The attention of the busi
ness and traveling public, in the neighborhood of
the Lehigh Valley Depot, on Monday week,
was attracted by four river roughs, from Scranton,
lingering on the banks of the Lehigh river. Not
content with this vagrantl•m and suspicious move- .
menu for which they were amenable to the law,
one of them began to heap abuse on Brook
Boomer, baggage -master at the depot, which at
once drew the from this °Skint. This insolent
and seedy-looking rough, upon being approached
by Baumer for the purpose of castigation, tied and
took refuge on the Island and thus separated him
self from his confederates. He was pursued, and
In the meantime the assistance which his corn
panions were about to render him was cut off by a
number of depot ()Metals who served as bravo de
fenders of the bridge, which they held throughout
the perils of battle with great bravery. The NO
tine was tinnily captured on the further side of the
Island and brought to Justice. The punishment
Inflicted on him was in some respects similar to
the bastinaclo of by-gone days. •

HEAVY CONTRACT.—Messrs. Cole & Hell
man, of the Allentown Steam Boiler Works, were
recently awarded a contract for twenty steam

Now Jersey have bought the coal lands of the
Honey Brook Coal Company and the (I rman
Pennsylvania Coal Comp tny, at nudearled and

HOW TO BLOW UP A STOVE. —A lady in
Berke county, (of course,•no other county could
originate the idea,) has discOvered a new and
perfectly safe method of blowing up the best kind
of a stove. She simply fills a jug with water,
corks It up tight, and sets it in a hot oven, which
she also closes. But a few minutes time Is required
to set the water boiling, when the jug bursts and
blows the stove Into fragments. This remarkable
woman resides In Leesport. She will probably
migrate to New York where the most approved
plan of blowing up things is eagerly sought after,
and most highly appreciated when discovered.—
Miner's Journal.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—The Pittston COM
sponclunt of the Scranton 'Republican says as the
early passenger train on the Lehigh Valley Rail
road was going down on Tuesday morning, It en
countered au open switch, or a switch which flew
open at its approach at Sugar Notch, upon which
was standing an engine. The train was running
at low speed, but the tender to the engine
and the baggage car were thrown of the
track, and Mr. John Williamson, the
car agent at Sugar Notch, who happened to be
standing upon the platforM of the baggage car,
was seriously injured. No material damage to the
train.
RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.—Last week Alit
sil Ritter was driving a team, loaded with straw,
slong the road in Salisbury, uoar Gross' farm.
Two, other gentlemen were trying the speed of
their fast horses and Mr. Ritter's' pair, notwith
standing their heavy load, becoming greatly In
terested In the contest, grew excited and could not
bo restrained from showing what they could do.
They soon became unmanageable and ran away,
throwing Mr. Rioter from the wagon and the lines
being entangled around his legs ho was dragged
some distance, when the horses were fins Ily cap
tured by a man named Nonnermaeber, at the foot
of Water street. Mr. Ritter's injuries are not se
rious, but the scratches and bruises about his
hands and legs arc very painful.
A NUISANCE.—There area number of young
men lu Allentown, and old ones too, who arc not
allowed to stay out at night after nine o'clock.
These Individuals, instead of taking back seats at
the Opera House, go up front. The play goes on
and they, becoming deeply absorbed, take [mimic
of time until the performance is nearlyover, when,
by reference to their watches, they are startled at
the lateness of the hour and get up and hurry to
the entrance, unmindful of the annoyance they
produce to those who wish to sit still and see the
play out. Really, those ludividuals ought to bo
marked and forced to take back seats, so that they
causlip out without marring thepleasure of those
who can stay long enough to await the closing of
an cutertalument.
DIABOLICAL ATTENIPt AT INCENDIARIBNI—
A Id/ omits HEAP THE Vic nsr.—The ain't" of fire,
Wedhesday, about eight o'clock, was caused by
the conflagration of a manure heap, between Dr.
E. G. Martin's stables, on flail street, below Ham
ilton. Yeager, who was on his way to his livery
stable, discovered the fire and extinguished it with
Good assistance and a few buckets of water. Tbo
Fire Department responded, but did not squirt.
There Is the strongest evidence that this was a
, diabolical and deep laid plan to burn the stables,
as there was straw on the manure heap, and paper,
and what not, and bad It occurred after midnight,
when no one was around, and had It not been die
covered until the stables were on tire, it Is believed
that considerable damage would have been done.
Here's a chance to get the reward the city offers
for the detection of Incendiaries.
Is IT POLICY ?—A resolution has been intro
duced Into Councils fixing the yearly license for
Hagenbuch'e Opera House at three hundred dol
lars. If this resolution passes we have the best
reason for believing that the Opera House will
not bo thereafter need for amusements but will be
rented to the Masonic fraternity and we shall then
be without a public hall for first-class entertain
ments. Since the Opera House has been opened
we have had a high order of entertainments and,
once having enjoyed the luxury,it would be harder
to be deprived of It in the future than It was not
to know of its pleasures. If Councils wish to de
prive the people of the pleasure of good entertain
meets at home they hove but to pass the resolu
tion In Its present shape. We understand that
last.year Ilagenbuchs paid *l2O. We think If it
was now raised to not more than $2OO it would be
no more than right.
A COWARDLY ATTACR.—The Bethlehem
Times of Wednesday says: Mr. itupet Blazes
hardt Is an old and highly respected citizen of
Bethlehem. On Sunday evening last, at about
11 o'clock, as he was coming over New Street
bridge, from his work, which in lining furnaces,
when near the tollhouse, he was attacked by some
ruffians, who knocked him down and beat him
very badly about the face. Mr. Butzenhard
called very loudly for help, which scared off the
parties, who gave him an unmerciful blow in the
face at parting. The ruffians ran across the New
Street bridge to South Bethlehem. Mr. Butzen.

of doing it. We know these young men would

REAL ESTATIL-.-RiebErd J. Klotz bought
a house and lot on Walnut street, between Third
and Fourth streets, of John Diehl, for 81400.
OLIBEIGNG PROM'Effrs.—As far as we can
learn the Bpriog trade Is looked forward to with
very pleasant anticipations. Affairs generally are
favorable to a good business. The redemption of
the 5.20 bonds of 'O2, it Is believed, will put a
good bit of capital In the field for investment,
which will Improve money matters. The New
York correspondent of that especially reliable
paper, the Public. Ledger, says s—The continu
ance of fine weather is having a very favorable
effect upon general business. In some of the
leading departments of wholesale trade there lean
activity not always noticeable so early in the sea
son. Merchants from Louisville, New Orleans,
Galveston, and other remote points, are here in
considerable numbers, while Savannah and
Charleston houses are also beginning to put in an
appearance. The Cincinnati and Bt. Louis peo
ple are expected along in the course of next week.
On all hands the anticipations are In favor of an
unusually brisk spring trade commencing earlier
than has been the rule of lato years.
HEAVY BLAST.—The Norristown Herald
says—The heaviest blast known to the experts In
quarrying occurred on Saturday last, at the quar
ries of the Conshohocken Stone Company, on the
south side of the Schuylkill, below Swcdesburg.
The face of the cliff was one hundred and thirty
nine feet long, and back from its edge at a dis
tance of twenty-seven feet, the rock was drilled
along Its entire length. Small blasts were made
till the rock was opened to a depth of ninety feet,
and after a trial blast on Friday, which felled, on
Saturday this mammoth cliff of nearly 400,000
cubic feet was hurled from Its base, forty-seven
kegs of powder being employed in the operation.
The appearance of the cliff subsequent to the blast
baffles description. Fitgo boulders, each In itself
a cliff, lay piled In awful confusion, and giving a
good Idea of the terrible effects produced by an
earthquake. As much stone has been thrown out
by this blast as will keep the full force of the
hands in employment until next August.
OLE EILLL.—The numerous admirers of the
veteran violinist, Ole Bull, will be pleased to hear
that he has sufficiently recovered his health to en-
Able him to fulfill the professional tour which his
MUM compelled him to relinquish In the early
part of the season. Bo much disappointment has
been expressed throughout the section which he
was to have visited that he has acquiesced to Mr.
Turnbull's (his business manager) suggestions
tflat he should commence the tour even at this late
day. • A company of undoubted talent has been
engaged to support him, consisting of Mr. Candi
dus, tho popular tenor; Miss Gertrude Orme, a
promising young Western vocalist, and Mr. Alfred
Richter, the eminent pianist; Mr. Turnbull, to
whose tact, judgment, general courtesy and expo
deuce his former successes were In some measure

TIM SALE of PAINTINGS was closed Friday
evening,but the number of purchasers was limited,
owing, we suppose, to the falling weather. We
are glad, for the sakeof Allentown, that Mr. Gale
came here. He brought a class of pictures that
has never been offered here and those having, the
cash In baud had an opportunity of purchasing floe
works of art,the productions of talented and rising
artists—paintings that Ina few years to come will
be worth from three to live times the prices paid
for them. They will be hung up and admired
time and again by visitors to the houses of the
gentlemen who purchased them and will act as
most efficient mentors in teaching au appreciation
of the divine and ennobling art. The gentlemen who
purchased the more expensive paintings have done
a good thing for themselves and also for their
friends, and if Mr. Gale over returns to this city
we are confident that his sales of this week w ill
result to his future benefit. In a few weeks he
makes a short tour of the largo cities, after which
he goes to Europe, and, returning with foreign
pictures In the fall, will commence his , annual
sales again. If he should have an opportunity to
come to Allentown this time next year we hope
money will he flowing around us a little more pro
miscuously than at present, so that thosa who ap
preciate art; and are not too prejudiced to rely
upon the representations of a gentleman, may
have au opportunity to avail themselves of the rare
chances his extensive collections offer.
GET THE BEST.—An illustrated family paper
has come to be a necessity, not a luxury, in every
well ordered household. Of the many papers of
this class which contest for the .patronage of the
reading public we have no hesitancy is awarding
the first place to Hearth and Home. It is em
phatically a paper for the family,and alleges and
classes will fled In It something especially adapted
to them. Since Orange Judd & Co. took possee
sion of Hearth and Horne it has constantly and
steadily grown In excellence and in public favor,
and the arrangements made for the present year
promise a better and more attractive paper than
ever before. Dr. Eggleston, the editor, is one of
the beat story writers we have, and all who have
read his "Hoosier Schoolmaster" will anxiously
look for tomething also of the same sort from his
pen. Jean Ingelow is annonuced as a regular
writer for the present year, and whatever she
writes la sure to be worth reading. Mrs. Mary E.
Dodge, Mrs. Harriett Prescott Spofford, Miss Al-,
coa t Bose Terry and Miss Phelps are among the
regular contributors. The Hearth and Homo is
also strong In its editorial, housekeeping, child
rens' and agriculturaldepartments, and,taken as
a whole, It's just such a paper as every family
ought to have. The Illustrations are god, and a
bound volume of the papers will be a good thing
to place on the parlor or library table. Cheapness
la another of Hearth and Home's merits, the rcgu
Mr subscription price being hut three dollen
year. The address of the publishers is Orange
Judd & Co., 245 Broadway, New York.
HorturnLE DgeTn...—The Scranton Repub.
'lean says, on Monday evening about 11 o'clock,
Mrs. Salsbury, wife of O. N. Salsbury, at Green
Ridge, came to her death in the following fright
ful manner. The members of the household had
rctired.to rest as usual, Mrs. S. sleeping alone In
her bed-room. A few minutes past 11 o'clock
Mrs. Jane Horton, a daughter of the deceased,
who has been untiring In her attention and devo
tion to her mother, thinking that she heard a noise
in her mother's room; sent her brother Henry to
800 from whence it -proceeded: When the lad
opened the door, Le gave 'a wild scream as be saw
his mother standing up before the looking glass
unconcernedly while her person was enveloped in
flames. She said not a word or made any appa
rent effort to move, but in a moment after Inhal
ing the flames, felt down near where her eon. was
standing. The neighbors were aroused at once,
and Mr. Wilson, living next door, who happened
to be pp, with great presence of mind rushed in
and threw a blanket over the prostrate, burning
lady, and subdued the flames. She lived but
thirty minutes, and died without speaking a word.
The lamp did not explode or fall from the bureau
where It was found, with the chimney off and
lying under the bed. The lamp, while In that
unprotected condition, probably set fire to her
night clothes; and thus led to her terrible death.
Mr. Salsbury, who is one of the most Indulgent
of husbands, was absent to New Jersey at the
time. Mrs. Salsbury for many months had beau
afflicted with an affection of the brain, and was
under the Immediate care of Drs. Hollister and
Throw,' who bad but faint hopes of her ultimate
, ecovery.
BANK CILANCIE.—At the meeting of the Di
rectors of the Allentown National Bank, Monday
morning, the resignation of fl. J. Prelz was ac
cepted, to take effect on the Ist of May, and the
vacancy was filled by the appointment of Reuben
King In his stead. Mr. Pretz has performed the
duties of clerk for the past seven years'. Samuel
Colver, Esq., was appointed Notary Public for thls
Bank.

A PROJECTED IMPROVEMENT AT ESIADS.—
The Allentown Democrat Is Informed that pre
liminary steel have been taken within a few weeks
past by a party at EtnaoB,oll the East Pennsylva
nia Railroad, to forma company to build Machine
14 orks on the cooperative principle at that place.
The parties who are moving in the matter aro of
the right mettle and will make It a success beyond
a doubt.
The company Is to be known as " The Work
ingmen's Manufacturing Company of Pennsylva
nia." The capital at the outset is to be $lOO,OOO
—550,000 to be raised by the sale of stocks and
$50,000 from the sale of• bonds—the latter, with
Interest, to be guaranteed by the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company. Most of the stock
has the promise of being taken up as soon as ready,
and the loan will be taken by a large Banking
House, in New York city.
The Works are to consist of a Foundry, Forge
and two Machine Sho.s. Each workingman
therein is bound to be or become a holder of two
shares of stock, or more if lie desires, each year—
which at $25 each will be proportionately deduct
ed from his weekly ea-flings, which It is estimated
will increase the capital at least $lO,OOO per an
num. To this the prollts will be added until the
capital amounts to $250,000 and all bonds are
paid. With the Inorease of capital it Is proposed
that the Works shall be enlarged from time to
time.
The proposed Works arc to be located near the
new Furnace, at the junction of the East Penn.
with the l'erkionteußallroad, on a piece ofgrouud
situated between the railroad and the public road
to Millerstown, containing' eight acres. The
Works will employ about two hundred hands In
the outset. '
This co-oporative principle i 3 gradually work
ing Into favor among the producing classes. In
England it has succeeded admirably, and lu this
country, wherever tried, and the business carried
on Judiciously, favorable results have followed..

A TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION,
LOSS ESTIMATEO AT $250,000
A dlepateh from Reading says at 1:45 on
the Nth the Court Housebell rang out an alarm
of fire. The fire proved to be In the very heart of
the business portion of the city, and In a short
time the whole upper portion of the city was illu-
mined by the flames. The alarm was responded
o promptly by the entire Fire Department and no
men over worked harder than tho brave fellows
did to save the moat valuable block la Reading.
The fire originated In the back part of Bast
Bro.'s tobacco store, on North Fifth street, and in
a few minutes the entire building, which was a
frame structure, was In games. The fire rapidly
communicated to the adjoining buildiugs, which
were also frame structures, and In a short time

memo establlstuneut with fearful rapidity. The
old Slate House building In which there were a
number of stores, next caught fire and was soon
wrapped to a sheet of Elaine and the adjoining
building, owned and occupied by Major Ebner no
a saloon was next to go. Ilotf and Millholland's
bauking houstb_ou North Fifth street, was entirely
destroyed and the roof of the Reading Fire Insur
auce Company's building, at Fifth and Court
streets, was considerably damaged. For a time
It looked as though the Reading Savings Bank
would be destroyed, but by the almost superbu
mau exertions of the fireman that building was
saved with bat trifling damage to the roof. The
tote I losbis estimated at $21:0,000.
The following Insurance Cot:ill - miles are repro
gamed In the losses: Noah American, Franklin,

MILTON Henaen: born August 11, 1833. tiled
January 21, 1872.
The subje7t of this notice was born in Upptr
Saucon township, Lehigh county, on thellth day
of August, 1833, and died at Catasauqua, on Sun
day evening, January 21, 1872.
Mr. Berger, with his family and partner; re
moved from. Bethlehem to this place lu the Spring
of 1818, and took charge of the Catasauqua Mills.
The business was in its Infancy when they com
menced operations, and it has since grown under
the superior financial abilities of the deceased,
until it is second to none In the The de
ceased's eminent business qualifications were ex
hibited In the trying financial crises of 'l7, when
many of the oldest and best Managed business
firms In the country had to succumb. This firm
bad Just started business the year previous, with
nothing to fall back upon, and was successfully
carried through this ordeal by themntiring perse
verance of the deceased.
It would be quite unjust not to intuition In this
connection that the deceased was ably seconded
In all his businees transactions by his surviving
•
partner.
Ills death has left a void in this community that
It will be difficult to 1111, and none will feel It more
than his partner.
He bas left a large family to mourn Isle early
death. They have the heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community. We can only point, them in
the midst of this their great aflUction to the
" Giver of all good."
But he has gone to his last home. Few among
us had so many warm friends, and but few will
be so generally missed. Ile has left monuments
of hie energy and enterprise on all sides. Ile was
cut down In the prime of life, when Indeed his use
fulness as a citizens was Just being developed.
Farewell Nlliton Berger. Peace to your ashes.

AFFAIRS AT LAFAYETTE COLLEGE
Comm - voodoo. of tho CIIao.TICLR
EA TON, Jatitlary /01.11, I SW
The second 13C1191011 of the collegiate year of La
fayette College, which opened on January 4th,bas
thus far been marked by nothing of unusual occur
rence. The new catalogue, of whleh proofs have
been seen, Contains the names of 216 ul udents—a
slight decrease from the total number the previous
year. Since the opening of the present term, how
ever, quite a number of additions have been made
to the Freshmen ;Sophomore and Senior eta sues,
so that the actual number of r , tudenti will not vary
greatly from last year.
The college came Into pos,esblon of ileum dom-
Itory early title term. * It Is culled McKeon
will was so named from the estate which furnished
the money for ite erection. About six months
elapsed b. tweet, the laying of the foundation and
the completion of the building. Four stories In
height, with a basement at the rear, and possess
ing a frontage of about a hundred feet, lighted
with thirty-five windows in front, forty-nve in the
rear, and sixteen on each aide, the building, with
Its brick walls and trimmings of sandstone, Iron
esrnices and WiIWOW-6111P; presents a very attract
ive appearance, and makes the four. other halls,
between sob lei,,—two on each side —lt stands, seem
yeti ? Insignificant by contrast. Internally the new
hall Is complete in every particular that Is valued
by the student. There are accommodations for 48
students, the rooms being both double and single
In suitable proportion. The double rooms com
prise a suite of three, onc large study room and
two smaller chambers opening out thereof on the
same side.
The cost of the educe was about $20,000, and
the rent of the rooms varies from $2O per room
($lO apiece for each occupant) to S S.
Very naturally there was much competition be
tween the students in eholce of rooms at the com
mencement of the session, and the lucky ones ore
low In a state of unbroken bliss.
The new building for the Pardee Scientific
school, the money for the erection 01 which was
given by James Pitrdee, Esq., of Hazleton, will be
commenced as soon as spring opens, the plans be
ing already perfected. The structure will be about
230 feet in length, five stories In height, of gray
limestone, and will cost $200,000. Its site will be
on a line With the present observatory, alinst a
hundred and fifty yak•ds to the left of East College
and on the spot where Dr. Eickai.d's house now
stands.
The West Wing of the main college building.
the foundation of Mil. h W.LB laid during the pasi
autumn, will probably be tin shied in the coming
summer. It will be used mainly as a chapel, which
will be furnished substantially and have a thee
church organ for the use of the college choir. The
organ, perhaps, will be best appreciated by ' the
boys" of all the improvements, for there are it
number of excellent organists in the several classes
and almost all are singers, though all nit, not Cas
tles or Waehtele.
Perhaps our friends at Allentown are minded to
hear something of our daily college life here. It
so, we will try to glee them at: faithful narrative
of a day In particular and a week In general.
At six o'clock, A. M., those of us who arc not
ten far away In the " land of You" hear the "first
bell,"whose purpose—we do not say effe.t by any
means—is to arouse our student commtmity from
Its peaceful slumbers. At half•p.tst six the" see
-01111 bell" rings. At this tsar many of the clubs
have breakfast, so that the corridors of the several
halls echo occasional footsteps. At seven the all•
Jorlty of the students take their " morning 'coal,"
although a minority are accustomed td devote but
five minutes time to the op.:ration of eating; and,
too, Just before the Chapel bell rings, w filch ring
ing the Knight of the Cord punctually does at
7:45, A. M. 'At this tiltle,3B we have said, the first
bell for chapel rings, -and immediately after you
see a hurrying crowd of dressed and half-dressed
youths in bunches, at different Intervals on the
campus, making for East College. Five minutes
elapse and the second bell lolls from the tower.
All are In now but the stragglers, and " Prex"
rises and reads a chapter in the Bible. Prayer
follows, during which the dozm or so Prtifessors
who have risen In time for these exercises, direct
their thoughts on holy [Wags and their eyes—to
the Sophomore benches.
Prayers areover at 8 o'clock nod the several
classes and sections of classes disperse to the va
rious recitation rooms, to Instruct their several
Professors in the respective studies Of the term.
At 0 the bell rings again and the campus Is once
more covered with students going to their rooms.
During the next two hours, the victims of a mis
erable ambition to take the "Ist Donor," study ,
vehemently, and the rest, taking matters more
leisurely, eon their lessons by the ald of a meer
schaum pipe and paper of "Green Seal." At
eleven the first recitation bell rings, and live min
utes later the second Is heard. The Professors ap
ply their drawing materials and having iu the
course or an hour drawn out nearly all the knowl
edge possessed by the class on the particular sub
ject, the bell la rung at twelve, and all make quick
time to the dinner tables. And now we are re
minded that our bill of fare for the week might be
au Important Item of Information to outslder9, so
we shall cite It.
Monday, Pr akftst—Cottee, steak, bread, buck
wheats. Rest of week ditto.
Monday, Dinuer—CannonbAlls (liple.durup
ham, etc., all the week.
Monday, Supper—Breakfast and dinner over
..;aln--Ininui what we ate when we went .over
iem the fleet time.
Some of the clubs have . little variety errnplis
gratia. " Brown's club of indigenous Imbibers"
offer the following table : B:eakfast, bread and
molasses, :(with water) ; dinner, brea I (water
optional) ; supper, molasses (without water).
There are also soma " Milk-sops" here, whose bill
of fare, we believe, Is rarely paid.
After dinner, it being winter and no amuse
ments in vogue on the hill (except euchre) many
of the students stroll down town after the mail.
And Easton being a pretty place and full of pretty
faces, it is Indeed a pretty sight to see with what
care the young men look after the ladles who 'nay
chance to be promenading on the principal streets.
At half-past one o'clock, some of the classes have
lectures to attend, but there Is no general recite..
tlon until half-past three, when one and all haste
to impart their all Import int, though so reemtly
gained, knowledge to the instructor, who seems
eager to learn the utmostfrom them. The hour
over the chapel bell rings and the boys push and
"Jam" Into the hall and up-stairs Into the chapel
Itself. This evening,, perhaps, some tutor leads
the exercises. A chapter is read and then a hymn'
Is given out, which Is sung by all the boys, the
choir of the Senior Class leading. We dourer If a
spectator of a day's routine at college would enjoy
anything more heartily than hearing the voices of
two hundred students singing sine old.fashioned
hymn. The tutor then, rather shaky In voice,
offers up prayer. Unfortunately, perhaps, he may
not be as ready in prayer as In class room, and
there are also certain students so utterly depraved
as to note the number of his repetitions. Mr. A.
will say, when the prayer Is ended and the boys
are going out, " John, how many times did he say
'and now we pray thee'?" and John, consulting
his rotes, will reply: "Twenty-eight times acid
we thank thee' eighteen thnes"—whereat there
Is a general laugh at the expense of the tutor.
Everybody now hastens to the supper table,there
to discuss the events of the day. At 51; p. no.
prayer meeting bell rings, and the best students
hurry over to conduct It. At seven the traditional
study belt rings and then is ushered In the even
ing proper. ❑ow these evenings are spent we
must tell at some future time.
On Wednesday laternoon, thereinto); no recita
tions, the Literary Societies meet, and on Spit':
day afternoon, which Is also a half holiday, many
of the students take long walks or do their read
ing. On Sunday's, chapel at the sometime In the
morning, prayer meeting Immediately after' In
each class, morning church (a " required study")
sermon In the chapel In the afternoon at half-past
three o'clock, prayer meeting again In the even
ing, make up the order of exercises. The transla
tion a "day of rest" Is undoubtedly defectlVe.
But we must postpone many Items of Interest
until the time of our next letter. Easton itself Is
sufficiently dull Just now, although a trifling fire
In air. Drake's stable, this morning, caused a tem
porary excitement among the red shirts down
town and the boys on the hill. EnNIOI3.
